Private tour worthwhile! - Our driver/guide was early for our pickup at our hotel. It was nice to get a few minutes early departure. He was very informative on history and the sites. The car was comfortable and good air conditioning. He would give us a little history and then drop us off to allow us into the site for our own walk thru. Our last stop was Plaka and he suggested 3 restaurants for late lunch. We had a delicious lunch. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great day touring Athens - We had a great time with Fotis. He was knowledgeable and professional. We definitely got to see way more Athens than we would have on our own. It was so nice having just the two of us on a tour. We saw many huge groups, our experience was great!
